Generating Ultrahigh Vacuum in Large Volume - The LIGO Experience

Learn about the technical challenges and solutions in generating ultrahigh vacuum for large-volume systems through a detailed talk that explores the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experience. Delve into the specialized vacuum engineering requirements, methodologies, and practical implementations necessary for maintaining the precise conditions required in gravitational wave detection. Prof. Subroto Mukherjee from Raman Research Institute shares expert insights on vacuum technology, system design considerations, and the specific techniques developed for LIGO's unique operational demands during this 98-minute presentation.
